Dwarf wins court challenge after failing test to be police chief because he could not jump far enough

The Supreme Court in Brazil has ordered that a lawyer with dwarfism be allowed to retake a physical fitness test after he was disqualified from a police chief recruitment exam for failing to meet the same jumping standard applied to non-disabled candidates.

Footage shows Matheus Menezes Matos competing for one of five places reserved for disabled candidates in the Minas Gerais Civil Police (PCMG) detective competition when he was eliminated at the long jump stage.
